Phoenix has gone 0-2-1 in its past three as the hosting

SAN DIEGO -- Drew Stubbs hit a tiebreaking home run leading off the eighth and left fielder Brandon Barnes robbed Rene Rivera of a tying shot in the bottom of the inning to lead the Colorado Rockies to a 3-2 victory against the San Diego Padres on Tuesday night. The Padres, who were trying to extend their winning streak to a season-high six games, were assured of their fourth straight losing season. San Diego (75-82) can still finish with its best record in three seasons. The team went 76-86 in 2012 and 2013. Stubbs homered on the first pitch from Dale Thayer (4-4) into the Jack Daniels party deck atop the right-field wall, his 15th. It was the first run Thayer allowed in nine outings. Rymer Liriano was shaken up after slamming into the wall trying to make the catch but remained in the game. Rivera sent a high drive to left opening the Padres eighth, but Barnes leaped to make the catch. With the potential tying run on second base and two outs in the eighth, Rockies second baseman DJ LeMahieu made a nice diving stab of Alexi Amaristas grounder and threw him out to end the inning. NL batting leader Justin Morneau went 1 for 4 with an RBI single to drop to .319, two percentage points ahead of Pittsburghs Josh Harrison, who also went 1 for 4. Juan Nicasio (6-6) allowed one hit in a scoreless inning for the win. LaTroy Hawkins pitched the ninth for his 23rd save in 26 chances. Rockies lefty Jorge De La Rosa had allowed only three hits through five scoreless innings when the Padres tied it at 2 in the sixth with three straight two-out hits. De La Rosa allowed a leadoff single to Jedd Gyorko before striking out Rivera and Yasmani Grandal. Tommy Medica singled before Liriano and Amarista each had an RBI base hit. Padres lefty Robbie Erlin lasted four innings, allowing two runs and six hits. He was making his second start since missing four months with a sore elbow. He allowed RBI singles by Morneau in the third and LeMahieu in the fourth.

The Oilers picked up a 3-2 shootout win over the hosting Dallas Stars on Sunday. It was the Oilers fifth victory in seven games. Jordan Eberle and David Perron notched shootout goals and Devan Dubnyk ended with 15 saves after coming in for the injured Ilya Bryzgalov. Bryzgalov had stopped 28-of-29 shots faced before suffering an upper-body injury after colliding with Dallas Ryan Garbutt with 3:41 to go in the second period. "For me (Dubnyk) was excellent as was Bryzgalov early," said Oilers head coach Dallas Eakins. "Coming in off the bench, its never easy. Those guys tonight, especially Dubnyk, they were real catalysts for our team." Ales Hemsky and Andrew Ference scored in regulation for the Oilers, who are just 3-8-0 as the home team this season. It is unknown how long Bryzgalov will be sidelined, though goaltender Jason LaBarbera was recalled from the minor leagues on Monday.

Bryzgalov remains out with whiplash/concussion-like symptoms and there is no definitive timeline for his return. The Coyotes have won seven of nine and 12 of their last 15 versus the Oilers, including a 5-4 victory at home on Oct. 26.

The Coyotes trailed 3-0 after the first period before getting back into the game thanks to second-period scores from Rob Klinkhammer and Martin Hanzal, but Chicago put the game away in the final frame. Mike Smith allowed four goals on 35 shots faced as Phoenix lost for the fourth time in its past five. "Thats a good lesson for our team -- how hard you have to play, how smart you have to play to beat an elite team," Coyotes coach Dave Tippett said. Phoenix is scheduled to visit Calgary on Wednesday night and it is unknown if Smith or backup Thomas Greiss will get the call tonight in the first part of back-to-back games.
